- Altough the VTX2000 show some decent performance, I prefer the NCD
- since they tend to be more flexible in configuration and booting. My
- experience with X Display Terminals from the big boys (DEC, IBM)
- is such that they like you to have one of their machines to boot and
- file serve. NCD have a nice interface for configuration (VXT's are limited
- in configuration compared to NCD), and good support. I have booted
- our NCD's from a VAX/VMS, IBM/RS600, and an Alliant, and font
- served from each as well...try that with the VXT2000 or see
- what happens when your font server disappears; how easy is
- it to interactively specify a new font server? On an NCD it
- is easy.
